Verron Haynes is reportedly battling FB Dan Krieder for the fifth and final spot on Pittsburgh's roster at running back.

The Steelers are expected to keep four tailbacks if Haynes doesn't make it: Willie Parker, Najeh Davenport, Carey Davis, and Gary Russell. Kreider would seem to have a much better shot at sticking because he lead blocks.Source: Pittsburgh Post-Gazette Related: Dan Kreider, Carey Davis, Gary Russell

"Dreith said I hit Sipe too hard. I hit him as hard as I could. Brian has a chance to go out of bounds and he decides not to. He knows I'm going to hit him. And I do. History."- - - Jack Lambert, after referee Ben Dreith ejected him from a game for knocking out Browns QB Brian Sipe.

im pretty sure that has been the consensus the last 2 years. His departure always gets pushed back another year. its an annual ritual.

He must have sold his soul :devil:

You guys just don't get it.

It's in the Bettis book. The Rooneys were worried that Mark Bruener was going to blow up and become his generation's Ozzie Newsome. Then the cheap-ass-Ronnzie's would have to PAY him. Like, money, and stuff.

But those clever devils launched "Operation Namut." They brought in this guy who'd block for peanuts, and love it.

But that was years ago, you ask?

Well, let's revisit 2005. The Steelers, by accident, drafted Heath Miller (the dumber Rooney brother picked up the wrong card). Another guy they've clearly been keeping down, for fear that he'll get so huge the team won't be able to carry his contract.

Hence, Operation Namut Jr.

Connect the dots, man! And don't eat the Brown acid! If you read Bettis's book backwards, you learn all kinds of crazy shit.
